On most glove boxes there is a tooth moulded into the actual hinge on the lid panel. This tooth rests against a spring loaded switch behind the glovebox. When you open the lid it opens the switch and turns on the light. You usually have remove the whole glovebox to access the switch.
Check the interior fuse box...probable location is behind the glovebox....you will need to remove the glovebox to gain access. Open the glove box, reach in and disconnect the glovebox tray and hinges. Once the glovebox is out, you should be able to get to the fuses.

I fixed this in a 2010 Rav4 by lowering the glovebox all the way and finding that the cover to the cabin air filter had fallen off and was jamming the hinge of the glove box. To lower the glove box, pull the glove box side walls inward until the lock tabs clear the sides of the opening and you can rotate it all the way down. Clear whatever is jamming the hinge and rotate the glove box back into position. Be sure the hinge is pushed all the way forward onto the corresponding pin before closing the glove box, otherwise there will be misalignment. There is also a plastic air piston on the right side of the glove box assembly that damps the movement of the glove box. Be sure the piston assembly is secured into the two corresponding locking pins (one on the glove box, the other on the glove box opening) before closing the glove box.
I am actually changing mine now. It is located behind the glovebox. You have to remove the glovebox on the passenger side.
removing glovebox:
Open the glove box.
Detach the ******** the left or right. It keeps the glovebox from swinging straight down. It is hooked on the dashboard trim with a U-shaped molded hook. The hook is soft plastic so you can push on it without snapping it.
After the hook is detached, allow the glovebox to swing straight down. Pick up everything that falls out.
Now you can get to the resistor.
If you want to take the glove box off the rest of the way, unhook it from 3 hinges.
Bend the glovebox until the right hinge unsnaps. Do the same to the left. Then pull the box off the center hinge.
